Welcoming Shabbat with Lecha Dodi by Bluegrass Band Kol Kahol

Formed in 2019, the bluegrass band Kol Kahol  seeks to push the boundaries of contemporary Jewish music and traditional American Roots music within the context of Jewish prayer. In combining these two musical identities, they tell their story through music.

The group is proud of its Eastern European Ashkenazic and Sephardic Jewish traditions, but also of their American heritage and its influence on their lives and musical style. In doing so, they offer a unique spiritual experience to those who are wrestling with their own identity, particularly regarding what it means to be an American Jew.

In this video, recorded last month, Kol Kahol sings Lecha Dodi, the central song in the Kabbalat Shabbat service.
